Synopsis
A clear, practical reference to Kentucky’s revised statutes and related material.
This edition presents the compiled civil and criminal statute law of Kentucky as revised up to 1852, with notes on changes adopted by the legislature and guidance for use in the state’s legal system.
Originally prepared by commissioners who aimed to condense a chaotic stash of statutes into a single, usable volume, this work emphasizes method, fidelity, and practical utility. It covers the process of revision, indicates how the laws are organized, and explains how the publication should be used by the legislature, the bar, and the people.
The book includes a table of contents listing all major topics, from foundational documents like the Declaration of Independence and state constitutions to the detailed Revised Statutes, with chapters on actions, contracts, estates, courts, crimes, taxation, and many other areas of Kentucky law. It also provides explanations of references and notes about the revision’s publication and authority.
